Subject: [3.0-rc2+][REGRESSION] using VirtualBox 64bit CPU detecton broke?

Hello Folks, 

For some reason after 3.0-rc1 VirtualBox will not boot any 64bit operating 
systems even though this CPU is 64bit. I'm not sure if this is a VirtualBox 
issue or something changed in kernel that broke this.

Can anyone else confirm this as well? My current kernel is 
3.0-0.rc3.git5.1.fc16.x86_64

I don't suspect it's a Fedora specific patch that is causing this, but I'm not 
sure.
